This is an excellent book if you have never been formally educating in the art of teaching. This book is expensive because it is a college textbook but, it is worth the money. It is an easy read. You don't need a degree to read it and it will give you some tips on lesson planning if you want to tutor privately. I even recommend it for home school parents who are trying to think of creative lessons for their kids.
